A little more work to wire in the indicators and tail light.

 

[Guest]

Got all this together yesterday now to wire it all up.

Just wondering what handlebars and hand controls you're using? The bike is coming together! Very impressed!

Thanks mate, the buttons are MOTONE 22MM SWITCH 3 BUTTONS and the handlebars are just a set of clip ons.

I know Ed, I had to edit the originals to be able to post them so cropping them was the only option. Any idea what I was doing wrong?

Looking good!

Eh, the forum doesn't allow/can't host bigger images. For that, you'll need to use an external image hoster. Personally, I use imgur.

Thanks mate so do I just download the app?

Number plate location

I started with I side mount plate holder but decided to go this way. Now to power up some plate lights, I've got some small led bolt type ones on the way.

Rear indicators.

Rear indicators.

So the tail light in the frame loop is a brake/tail light with integrated indicators, however they aren't very clear. So I decided to add some extras on the rear shocks. These are the same ones I have on the front.

Do they make compact noise reduction mufflers? lol

Seriously...where can you put it without making it look "out of place?"

They make inserts, but probably need a longer length of straight. I heard a BSA with them and it really worked well. I would like to put one in my 3" straight turbo exhaust. I just don't like a loud droning noise and feel like a jerk making all kinds of noise. Sort of sums up my life actually.

Your spot on Ed, having the rearsets has made the exhaust a difficult one to work out.
